When I made my tree, I cut a fairly long length of wire, placed the rock in the middle, then wrapped both sides of the wire up around the rock. From there, I just twisted them until I was satisfied with the length of the "trunk". I did this several times to beef up the trunk a bit, then took the loose pieces at the top of the tree and bent them in different directions to give a canopy effect. I didn't want my tree to be super big, so I kept a more small and endearing style. Since the wires were slipping around the rock, I used some E6000 to tack them down. If I were to do this project again, I would try to find a bigger rock so it wouldn't be so hard to work with.
